Dear Mr. Boyd:
This is in response to a letter from Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E., the city of Coppell
Floodplain/CDC Coordinator, dated October 19, 2001, concerning a proposal to construct a
development north of Sandy Lake Road in the city of city of Coppell, Dallas County, Texas.
This project has been assigned Project Number 200100697. Please include this number in all
future correspondence concerning this project. Failure to reference the project number may
result in a delay.
We have reviewed this project in accordance with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. Under Section 404, the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) regulates the discharge of dredged and fill material into waters of the United
States, including wetlands. The USACE responsibility under Section 10 is to regulate any work
in, or affecting, navigable waters of the United States. Based on your description of the proposed
work, other information available to us, and current regulations and policy, we have determined
that this project will not involve any of the above activities. Therefore, it will not require
Department of the Army authorization under the above laws. However, it is incumbent upon you
to remain informed of any changes in USACE Regulatory Program regulations and policy as they
relate to your project.
Thank you for your interest in our nation's water resources. If you have any questions
concerning our regulatory program, please contact Ms. Jessica Napier at the address above or
telephone (817)886 -1745.
